About me
I understand talking about feelings can be difficult. My approach is non-judgemental, calm and compassionate. I firmly believe you are the expert of your own life - you may just need some help along the way. I’m here to listen, be present and offer a calm space for you to explore your emotions, in your own time.
I believe that everyone is unique so I tailor our sessions to your needs and what you'd like to bring to each session. I think it's important to go at your own pace - there's never any rush or expectations from me. I'll invite you to talk about whatever is on your mind and we can work through it together, in a collaborative way.
I have experience working with various common mental health problems, such as:
- work-life stress
- bereavement
- anxiety
- depression or low mood
- low self-esteem or low confidence
- low motivation
- stress and burn out
- relationship or family issues
- life changes and transitions
I'm here for you and whatever you'd like to talk about.

I firmly believe it's incredibly important for you to trust your therapist and to be as comfortable as possible, so we'll always go at your own pace. I'll always encourage you to do what's best for you.
A bit about how I work - I like to regularly check-in with you to see how you're finding things and make sure we're on the right track.
I work informally and view us as equals in the process - you're the expert of your own life, I'm here to help you process your emotions.
